5th grade families: Unfortunately we have to postpone the concert for tonight, May 22nd, due to pigeons in our gym. Despite our best efforts to safely remove them, we have been unsuccessful. They are a distraction to our 5th grade performers and the gym is now a mess from our attempts to safely remove them. The new 5th grade concert date is Wednesday, June 5th, at 5:30pm. We apologize for the inconvenience and look forward to seeing you on June 5th.

The Girls B team beat Ridge View to end their season last night at home. This was a great team win and a great way to end our season of 5-1. Tenley Oliver, Emma Howe, and Khloe maris led the way on the mound for the Bobcats. Our bats were hot with several players getting hits including Natalie Cloukey, Farrah Brown, Emma Howe, Whitney Chanette, Audrie and Eliza McLellan, Amelia Sinclair and Charlotte Powers…Khloe Maris had a great hit to center field and she earned herself an in the park home run due to her aggressive base running. The girls will celebrate Thursday after school until 330; remember to bring your uniforms! GO BOBCATS!
